Glasner Slams Crystal Palace Hierarchy Over Guehi Sale
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has expressed outrage over the sale of captain Marc Guehi to Manchester City, just a day before their match against Sunderland. Glasner revealed that he was informed of the sale at 10:30 am on Friday and stated that Guehi would not feature in the game. The Austrian manager also announced that he would not be renewing his contract at the end of the season, citing a desire for a new challenge. However, his comments suggest that the issues at the club run deeper. Glasner criticized the club's hierarchy for selling their captain on the eve of a crucial match, leaving the team without adequate support from the bench. He emphasized that the players had given their all but felt abandoned by the club's decision-making. Glasner's comments have sparked speculation about his future at the club, with some pundits suggesting that he is trying to force the club's hand to improve the squad situation. Former footballer Tim Sherwood believes that Glasner's announcement that he is leaving at the end of the season may be a ploy to escape the club as quickly as possible.
